    Author

    Sam Knight

    A Colorado native, Sam Knight spent ten years in California’s wine country before returning to the Rockies. When asked if he misses California, he gets a wistful look in his eyes and replies he misses the green mountains in the winter, but he is glad to be back home. As well as having being Distribution Manager for WordFire Press and Senior Editor for Villainous Press, he is author of six children’s books, four short story collections, three novels, and nearly three dozen short stories, including two media tie-ins co-authored with Kevin J. Anderson. A stay-at-home father, Sam attempts to be a full-time writer, but there are only so many hours left in a day after kids. Once upon a time, he was known to quote books the way some people quote movies, but now he claims having a family has made him forgetful, as a survival adaptation.  He can be found at SamKnight.com and contacted at Sam@samknight.com.

      Worst. Christmas. Ever.

      As a family, we always managed to avoid festive disasters. When our dog was seen running down the street with a Christmas turkey in his teeth, our turkey was still in the fridge. But a few years ago, in my thirties and newly married, I realised it wa

      For my family. May there always be a Christmas Tree lighting your hearts.

      A Small Town Santa

      Even though we were a small town out in the middle of nowhere, Santa still always found the time to show up and be there. Our Christmas parade had only fifteen entries, and only two of those were floats. The rest were tractors and wagons, the fire truck, the car with the
